This is very good! I like the idea, and I hope that it does inspire more people to vote often. Some of us tend to forget. But this serves as a friendly reminder.

Dear Carolyn, nicely penned post reminding us of the contests. Well laid out with your charming way exploring the incentives to enter them - contests are everywhere....
Thanks for sharing it.

If you entered a prompt or a contest that you pay member dollars for you can vote. You win member dollars back. If is a Fanstory contest the committee chooses the winner and the prize is cash. I don't know who the committee is but they are the deciding factor on those entries. Book of the month, poet of the month we get to vote on also. Check out your 'voting booth' for more info. Thank you so much for your comments. :-) Carolyn

Hi Carolyn,
A very sweet acrostic poem, reminding/informing Fanstorians of just how much fun these contests are. And, yes, we learn/take away something each time we do so. This is a nice reminder to me to vote more often, and to try and enter more contests. Thanks!
A fun read for your reader (picture is really cute!).
Connie :)

The free ones are the ones that pay cash. The prompts and other contest, even though I pay a members fee are such fun. Thank you for this lovely review Connie, :-) Carolyn

Carolyn, this is a good message you wrote here. Although I don't normally make it a practice to enter contests on this site, I do frequent the voting booths for contests that intrigue me.
Parts of me do not think the contests are on the up-and-up. But that's just me... I'm here to learn to write better not get frustrated by contests.
Nicely done.... John

I am the same way, if I counted on the member dollars that can be won for prompts and other sponsored challenges etc. I would never have any to promote my work. I do it for experience and sometimes surprise. (Especially the anonymous ones lOL) I have no idea how the 'committee decisions' are made or even how many individuals make up the committee. Anyway, maybe we can all be better writers by our experiences and the ones of others. Hope you are having a great week my friend, :-) Carolyn

IF YOU ARE HERE TO HAVE FUN AND ENJOY THE LEARNING THAT IS DONE. YOU ARE DEFINITELY IN THE RIGHT PLACE. IF IT IS MONEY NOPE YOU WON'T GET RICH HERE ONLY IN FRIENDSHIP.

And friendship can't be beat, can it? Thanks for the review. From my calculations no one would get rich even if they won all of them. LOL However it is fun to enter and to see how many cast a vote.
-
WE ARE ALL HERE TO LEARN AND MAKING FRIENDS TO ME IS A BONUS. VOTING IS FOR AN INCENTIVE TO DO BETTER I THINK DON'T YOU?
-
Yes, it helps me to work harder to 'write something good.'

I have learned so much since I started and every one is so kind to me helping me over the rough spots, I do get stuck and need a push from time to time
Comment from Spitfire
Okay. how much did Tom pay you to post this? Just kidding. It's easy to forget about the contests unless notified. I finish up my review session by going to the boards, but don't have enough time to read all the entries. I learn about what the voters want by reading the winners.

Is Tom in charge of everything???? LOL He is a busy fellow. It is fun to read and cast a vote. I love it when my vote is for the winner. At least then I know others found the same quality that I did. :-) Thanks Shari, Carolyn

Hey, you are right, Carolyn. I like this acrostic poem. Very nice. Love the picture. Maybe he won a contest. Huh? I do enter contests sometimes. Have won a couple. Well, I think I tied for first in a couple. But maybe next time, so they say. Hugs. Miss Sally

So true and very well done Carolyn. I have voted on many of the introductions and contests. It's a lengthy process to read many of the applicant's works but it is fun. Thank you for sharing. May you be blessed.
